Een; known that l, SAMUEL' s.. Bornes, of

Pets-lume, Sonoma county, Stote'of Gslifornia, .here invented enimproved Cep for Bottlesi Jars, 'and other Vessels; and li herebydeclare U .the following to be o full, clear, end emot do y soriptionthereof,1 reference being honi to the 'accompanying drawing melting sport of this speoieetion; in Which-m Fi l is perspective view ofAtho-nmler side oi' my improye csp.

forcing the edge down and creating en annuler depression around the rim'on the under side,'

and also o slitting or slipping the edge of the csp so formed, Vfor thepurposes hereinafter dey scribed. I A 1n order that those skilled 'inthe srt moy ineke alici use my invention, I shall proceed to describethe manner in which I hsve oerred it ont. l

The cover B is e piece oi'shect metalwhich is stamped orotlierwiseformed with an sunnier depression, U around its rim Vori-the undersitio. This ennnlor olmnnei is .intended to be oitiie proper width andcircumference to sllow the' edge of the mouth of the hottie, ieri 4 orother vessel to enter it when the cop is propn lorly pissed upon thebottle. A iisnge, c, will then proje'ot downward entirely oronnfi theontsirie of the bottle.V This'ilsnge e lies on itslower erigee'snooession oiz'sliort slits, e' e e",

For unsesling the jor it Will be only necessery to itil the depressionor ssncer d with het Wetter,i which will melt the wer or other adhesiveemployed', so es to eilow the esp to be removed., v
